 Couldnt do without June 25, 2010
A. Fung (Honolulu, Hawaii USA)
I do not know how we would have lived without this. It tracks your babies breathing and alarms if the baby stops breathing or has been removed (which happens alot - you pick up the baby and forget to turn off the monitor). Still, it is very re-assuring that if the baby were to stop breathing, this would alert you.
Unless the baby moves off the sensor pad and the alarm goes off, giving you a heart attack. This is easily fixed by buying some pressboard from the local hardware store however.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is worrying about SIDS or alien abduction.
The Best Baby Monitor Ever! May 28, 2010
Mr. Mojo Risin (Indianapolis, IN)
Before our baby was born, my wife and I were looking at baby monitors at different stores. I decided to check on Amazon to look at the reviews for the different brands. Most of the models sold in the usual stores had horrible reviews on Amazon. After reading things about loud static and short life-span, I saw the Bebesounds Angelcare monitor. The reviews on Amazon praised this model on sound quality. The Amazon description mentioned the movement sensor and the temperature display. Based on the reviews, I purchased it. I had my doubts when I opened it, but after our baby started sleeping in his crib, I realized that this model is worth the money. The sound is really clear. There isn't the constant hum of static issuing from the speaker that I've heard in other brands. If you hold the speaker up to your ear, you can hear static, but when it is sitting on the table right next to my recliner, I don't hear the static at all. This monitor has so many functions, which is nice because you can tailor it to suit your needs. It has an optional sound activation, so, for example, if there is a fan in the baby's room, or air conditioner, or anything that creates noise, the sensitivity of the sound activation can be adjusted so that the system isn't continually pushing white noise through the speaker and only activates for louder sounds, i.e. the sound of your baby crying, cooing or coughing. The volume of the speaker can easily be adjusted on the parents unit. Another nice feature is a level indicator for the intensity of your baby's cries, so even if it us turned down, you can see the level increase from orange (low cries) to yellow (medium cries) to red (loud cries).
The motion detector works really well, too. At first, our baby would only sleep in his car seat, but after he grew out of that phase, the motion detector was nice. The sensor is placed underneath the mattress, directly under the spot where your baby sleeps, so that it detects his breathing. Our baby moves around now, but it still works. The sensitivity has to be adjusted on this, also. There are many functions for the motion detector. The monitor can be set to sound an alarm if it doesn't detect motion for 20 seconds. (The alarm on the parents unit can be an audible alarm, or a vibration, or both.) The base also chirps when it doesn't detect movement, which stimulates the baby, but doesn't wake him/her up. The monitor can be set to make a ticking sound every time it detects motion. There is a pendulum icon on the display that moves back and forth when it detects motion.
Another feature I like about this is the temperature display. The large temperature display on the parents unit is nice, because you can easily see it from across the room. You can set high and low temperatures, and if the temperature in the baby's room goes above or below these set points, an alarm goes off.
Another nice feature is that the parents unit can run off of included rechargeable batteries. While it is in its dock, it recharges and is powered by the electricity from the outlet. It's nice to be able to take the unit with you, though, and not have to leave it plugged in. Another setting for the parents unit can sound an alarm if the unit gets out of range of the base. If it didn't have an alarm for this, you could walk out of range without knowing, and without alarm, you wouldn't know it because the speaker would have remained quiet.
All in all, this model is definitely worth the money. I think it would have been worth the price just for the sound quality. But with all the other features, I can sleep a lot easier knowing that if the room gets too hot or too cold, or if our baby stops breathing, I will instantly know.

I'm a first time mom and this is a must have product. I've used it for about 3 months, as long as he's been sleeping his crib and it gives me such peace of mind. If I didn't have the movement sensor he'd probably be sleeping in our room til he was 30, lol. The alarm went off for the first time last night and when I went in his room he was rolled over and stuffed up against the bumper. I was SO thankful for this monitor because I don't even want to know what would have happened otherwise.
The monitors stay charged forever. If I leave one off the rack for a night (8-10 hours) it still has half a battery left. The only thing that is annoying is the light on the monitor is really bright but i just throw a shirt or something over it. The nightlight feature is great too. Ive used that every night for 5 months and it still glows. I know I read on here about people having false alarms when I bought this and that has never happened to me. I have it set on the factory setting. You can turn the sensitivity up or down if you have problems with false alarms. Oh, and if the alarm DOES go off, it also sounds out of the unit in the baby's room to startle him.
I just love this product and I really think this is a must have for a mother.

If your worried about how your baby is doing while he/she sleeps, this is an awsome way to make sure they are ok, without haveing the staker parent syndrom lol. Im a new parent and I want to watch my daughter 24/7. This monitor keeps track of the temperature in the room, the sound, and most IMPORTANTLY if your baby is moving. If they stop moving YOU WILL KNOW. SIDS is such a scare for any parent, this product lets you know if they stop moving/breathing. BUY IT you will sleep better knowing your new baby is being monitored.
AWESOME Product. March 7, 2010
